Fewer current (current as in being published in English, natch) shonen manga series have swept me away, heart and soul, as Cross Game has. It brings me so much pleasure to see that after the emotional knock-out of a premiere volume, it has returned yet again for another 300+ pages of wonderful sports-related drama and humor that only Mitsuru Adachi could deliver. Not only is it typical Adachi – that is, typical Adachi being code for 'most excellent' – but it has a lot of something I'd been craving since volume one. More baseball!

I didn't know enough about baseball to enjoy this one as much as the first one.

The journey through Cross Game continues in this second volume. I love following each of the characters in their journey of playing baseball. I love sports myself so finding a manga where I can easily follow a sport and it keeps my attention is very important. This manga is about a family who moves to a new neighborhood and the main character joins the baseball team. During this volume, we follow our main character as he plays baseball against the varsity team. It kept my attention all the way through and at the end of this volume we find out something interesting. I definitely will be continuing this series! It is super addicting and I wish I had the next volume now.

Fair warning, if you aren't into baseball - this volume has more than 300 pages of it. Just to illustrate one great game between the varsity and "portables".
Though it's actually fairly well explained, even if you haven't seen a baseball game ever. It will be easy to follow along what's happening.
